You're welcome. The two were intertwined for me as if they were the same issue. The constant over-analysis of everything in my head was chaotic, leaving not much room for anything else. After I posted yesterday I was thinking about what my day-to-day used to be life and its funny how much I've put past me. The difference has literally been like going from living a perpetual asthma attack to being able to breathe again. It's something that I actively worked at and accomplished. Doctors, therapy, and medication are only tools. In the end the cure comes from inside. Good luck to you!

Typical response I would get from my friends before I started treatment. Did they ever observe this in me while I was on the meds? Absolutely not.
